Agenda Item Summary: According to the FY 2020 Rules of Engagement, Add/Delete items receiving “a minimum of two co-sponsors [are] to be considered with the Superintendent’s recommended adjustments.” All items meeting this threshold were discussed at the work session on February 14, 2019. Based on the Board decisions on February 14, 2019, these items are categorized as (1) Favorable School Board Support, (2) Unfavorable School Board Support and (3) Pending Further Discussion.
Background: ACPS is moving forward in our efforts to realize the mission and vision established in the ACPS 2020 strategic plan, and to prepare every student to have the skills necessary to be successful in the 21st century. We are guided by a commitment to achieving academic excellence, where every school is high performing and every student succeeds. The adoption of the Combined-Funds Budget is an annual commitment to programs and activities for Alexandria City Public Schools.

On Thursday, January 10, 2019, the Superintendent proposed the FY 2020 Combined-Funds Budget for School Board consideration. This was followed by a series of work sessions, public hearings and staff responses to School Board questions.

On February 5, School Board Members submitted their Add/Delete proposals. On February 11, Members co-sponsored the Add/Deletes of other Board Members. On February 14, Members discussed their add/deletes and came to decisions on the majority of items.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board reviews this memo and related materials in preparation for the Final Add/Delete discussion.
